As I believe is fairly common among pet owners, my two cats know that when the humans say 'din dins' it means that food will shortly be presented to them, and they make the anticipated fuss - miaowing, running to the kitchen, running between the kitchen and the food bowl in case the food has magically teleported there (ok, that one is our fault - sometimes one person will put the food into the bowls and then pass through the hatch in the wall to the other person) and generally getting underfoot and making a nuisance of themselves - when you think about it, it might be safer for both cat and human if they didn't know that the food was on it's way!
Now, for the past few days the cats have been given biscuits for both meals as we're out of wet food. The shopping was going to be delivered today, but as we went to Goodwood for the Super Car day, and it was half price delivery on Monday, I changed it to Monday. Tonight, to make it up to the cats, I gave them ham with their biscuits. Ham is usually delivered in small pieces, the offcuts from sandwiches or a scrap from dinner, and it is usually consumed as quickly as it is offered, occasionally they nearly take my fingers with the meat.
Have they touched it?
No.
